Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 222 A lot of things happen on New Year’s Day ([-])
When I got home, I reheated the leftover vegetables from my brothers and sisters in the pot and finished eating a few steamed buns. Now the food at home is mainly autumn corn and other coarse grains, and there is not much rice and noodles left, so I plan to save it for the New Year.

The broken space has been confirmed once again. Even though it is full of vitality, it just can't plant anything. Once it sprouts, it won't grow. It really doesn't help at all in these difficult days.

However, it is still a lot more convenient to access items. One is larger, and the other one can clearly feel that the items that can be accessed are also larger. I always feel that it is no problem to put a truck in at a time, but I haven’t had a chance to try it.

"Xuemei, please tidy up the chicken coop. Is there any draft? It's very cold this winter."

"Brother, I was just about to say that this nest is surrounded, but the temperature is too low. Why don't I just put them in my house? They haven't laid eggs for several days."

It's really whimsical. My little sister is thinking about it all the time.

"Who keeps chickens at home? Don't you see that the chickens of my second uncle's house are all in the yard? Let me tell you, they taste great."

"Brother, brother, these two chickens have been shut up all the time. They are not in good health. They are really freezing to death, but there are no eggs to eat. Brother, please move them in. I will let them out as soon as the weather warms up."

Being shaken by the little girl's arm made me feel dizzy, so I had no choice but to agree.

"You have to suffer by yourself. It will stink when the time comes. I'll go find Uncle Xue tomorrow and make a new nest. It won't be a problem after a long time."

Zhu Xuemei jumped up happily. These two chickens were her pets. They were so precious.

"I knew my eldest brother would agree. Don't worry, I will clean it up and move it out as soon as the new nest comes and the weather warms up."

"Brother Zhuzi helped me pack up all the fish, marinated them and hung them outside to dry. I only left two of them. I want to keep them at home first, and then..."

It is really useless to make cured fish from such a small crucian carp. When the time comes, it will be so dry that it can only be eaten by steaming or grilling.

Zhu Xuefeng was just worried that the water tank would be cracked by the freeze, so he asked him to drain the water. He didn't expect that the second brother had killed all the fish, so it would not be a problem to use a basin to raise the family.

"Okay, let's eat grilled salted fish then. The third uncle's fish is here."

"I also picked them in the morning. Yan Jiefang came to get them. I even had a few quarrels with him about the big ones. If my brother hadn't allowed me to quarrel with them, I wouldn't have given them to him. I caught them. There are also big ones, okay?”

"No matter how big it is, I can take advantage of you for a few cents. Come on, suffering is a blessing. Just treat it as if you support their family for a few cents and that's it."

Boss Yan didn't learn any other skills, but he remembered taking advantage of him.

"Remember, if you take advantage of someone, you will suffer a big loss. If you can't get along with this kind of person, you will have no friends in the future. If nothing else, they won't talk to you. This is also a big loss."

Zhu Xuesong nodded. Indeed, no one likes to deal with such a person.

I originally wanted to keep them all in the cellar, but I was afraid of lack of oxygen. Besides, I had other ideas, and the temperature of the cellar would not be high by then.

"Okay, I have to go. Don't run around, you two. It's too cold outside. Just stay at home and review. Let's get good grades and celebrate the New Year together."

Silly Zhu ran in in a hurry, took off his hat before entering the door, patted the scattered snow on his body with his hat, and shouted.

"Brother, you are so awesome. My brother is convinced."

What's going on? I didn't do anything.

"You don't know. Today, our factory's motorcycles started to be sold in department stores. Di'anmen Department Store distributed ten of them. Guess what."

Silly Zhu's expression made Guai look a little proud. Yes, Silly Zhu was also an employee of the steel rolling mill, so he was also happy for the factory to show his face.

Zhu Xuefeng also smiled, what else could he do? At that time, his prototype car attracted several onlookers, and it was also in the limelight during the National Day Parade. It must be easy to sell, and it is estimated that it has been sold out now.

"Very popular?"

Silly Zhu looked like you were looking down on someone and rolled his eyes.

"It's more than that. I don't know why the news was leaked or something, but a lot of people gathered around me before I opened the door. As soon as I opened the door, they all gathered around me. No one looked at the car, so they just let me get the ticket. No, it was gone immediately." Is it so crazy? Yes, there are many high-paid people in the capital. If you can't get food, you still have money.

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

"No, I took Yu Yu to buy her some new clothes. I was..."

Silly Zhu introduced the scene at that time with great relish. He was very excited and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Our factory is in great glory this time...".

"Oh, fortunately, Xuefeng hasn't left yet."

"Uncle Niu, come in and talk. It's quite cold outside."

Uncle Niu is here, probably to see the heater. He said when he made it last time, if it works well, he will make one himself.

Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was busy, Shazhu said hello and returned.

"It's really warm. You don't have to wear cotton-padded clothes at home anymore. Not bad, Xuefeng, this is a good idea."

As soon as Uncle Niu came in, he found that the cotton-padded jacket was too warm to wear.

"If you are in a hurry, I still have one set in the cellar. Didn't I ask you to get two sets? Why don't you use them first?"

At that time, I wanted to prepare a set for my godmother's house, but it turned out that the fireplace was in a building and I couldn't use it at all. I forgot about it, which was a mistake.

Uncle Niu took off his cotton-padded clothes, looked at the heating pipe, and touched it. It was quite hot to the touch.

"Your temperature is so high, this pipe is hot to the touch."

Uncle Niu visited the fireplace carefully, looked up and down, looked at the air outlet, and finally shook his head regretfully.

"No, you still have to work on your fireplace, and you need to change the roof exhaust, which can't be done now."

It was designed based on the situation of my own home. Because it needed to be renovated, a fireplace was used directly.

Zhu Xuefeng thought for a while, it would be great if the whole hospital could be heated together. There would be no exhaust and it would save energy. A small boiler in one courtyard would be enough.

The gatehouse in the outer courtyard is full of debris. It can be used after tidying it up. If it is not possible, there are free spaces in the front and middle courtyards. It is also very simple to build a boiler room.

But this heating material is probably a trouble. Everyone will feel that they have paid too much. Someone has to take the lead in this matter. When the time comes, it will be divided equally according to the area. It is very reasonable. You can also decide whether to change it or not depending on the situation of your own home. It's easy to change, just connect the pipe and you're done.

"Xiao Feng, your method is good. In my opinion, it's too much trouble. The noise is too great. None of the three uncles will be willing to pick this problem."

Uncle Niu was much clearer about the beliefs of every household in the yard than he was, so he said no, it definitely wouldn't be possible.

Besides, the projects outside the four courtyards and houses were impossible to do in this winter, so I took it for granted and couldn’t think of anything else.

After chatting with Uncle Niu for a while, this road is probably dead now, and each family will have to do it on their own.

It is definitely impossible to promote the fireplace model in your own home. The cost is high, the project is large, and the timing is not good, but it is not impossible, just make a simple one.

"It's actually not troublesome. I'll design a simple one that every family can use. If you can trust me, wait a few days and I'll finish the drawing."

"Why don't you believe it? Your method has been proven. I just don't know if it will cost coal and firewood."

Zhu Xuefeng smiled. Nowadays, everyone basically adds a tin pipe to the coal stove to heat the room while exhausting the gas. The effect is average, and most of the heat is directly discharged and wasted.
